Since ancient times, the emperor has been most annoyed by his ministers communicating with others, forming cliques for personal gain, and encroaching on military power.
The Rongning Second Mansion had publicly given up all military power in the early years because of issues regarding its alignment.
Only Jia Zheng still stayed in the Ministry of Industry, serving as a small official.
Now, Li Gui ran to the capital camp to ask for help, and immediately a team of Xiaoqi camp appeared.
If this matter were spread to the ears of Emperor Longqing and the Supreme Emperor, they would definitely be dissatisfied.
Jia Zheng was an honest man, so he simply reported himself, wrote a letter, and apologized to the Supreme Emperor.
When Dai Quan received Jia Zheng's confession, he did not dare to neglect it and presented it directly to the Supreme Emperor.
After reading the book, the Supreme Emperor didn't care.
After all, the four princes and eight princes have a profound influence on the military power, and it is not possible for the Rongning and Ningfus to withdraw just by saying they want to.
Besides, the border is not stable now, and the Supreme Emperor is still pointing out the four princes and eight princes to protect the family and the country.
What's more, the Beijing camp only sent fifty people to protect the safety of the second son of the direct line of Rongguo Mansion, which is not a big deal at all.
Of course, although he didn't care, the Supreme Emperor still looked solemn and asked:
"Daban, how much do you know about this matter?"
"My slave doesn't know much!"
Dai Quan thought for a moment, and then asked Su Mingzhe to accompany Sister Lin out of the palace to pay homage to Jia Min. The bandits wanted to kidnap him. Su Mingzhe fought against thirty or forty bandits alone, shot twenty of them to death, and captured twelve others. I’ve talked about everything about pushing the Kung Fu Xiao Cavalry Camp.
After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor immediately became happy:
"I thought that the descendants of Second Duke Rong Ning were all drunkards!"
"How can that be possible?"
Seeing that the Emperor was in a good mood, Dai Quan helped introduce:
"This Young Master Jia Ying came first in the Chang'an Prefectural Examination a few days ago. You even praised him for doing well in his song "Yong Mei"!"
"It's the song 'Pretty girls don't fight for spring, they just repay spring when it comes!' right?"
After being reminded, the Supreme Emperor suddenly remembered:
"This Jia Ying is not bad. She is both civilized and military. She is a talent that can be made! Please show this document to the emperor and let him deal with it!"
After hearing this, Dai Quan immediately understood what the Emperor meant and immediately sent the zhezi to the Daming Palace.
After hearing the report, Emperor Longqing had exactly the same idea as the Supreme Emperor and didn't pay much attention at all.
After all, the capital camp was originally the sphere of influence of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes and the Supreme Emperor.
In addition, Jia Zheng's attitude was also good, and Jia Ying was both civil and military. These things made Emperor Longqing very concerned.
…
Su Mingzhe didn't know what Jia Zheng had done, let alone that his name had been remembered by the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
After returning from the memorial ceremony, Su Mingzhe returned to his past happy days.
During the day, he either plays with Sister Lin or goes to Wang Xifeng to kill time.
At night, Su Mingzhe asked eight maids and two dancers to take turns waiting on him.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather is getting hotter.
On this day, herpes suddenly appeared on Sister Qiao's body, and the nanny quickly told Jia Lian.
Jia Lian thought it was an infectious disease and asked the wet nurse to take him to the backyard to fend for himself.
Seven or eight days later, the nanny told Jia Lian that Sister Qiao, who was less than one year old, had passed away.
Jia Lian didn't like this girl at all, so he just pretended to cry for a few words, without even looking at her, and asked the wet nurse to find a place to bury the child.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe carried Sister Qiao who had "resurrected from the dead" and sent her to Wang Xifeng.
"My Niuniu!"
The moment Wang Xifeng saw her daughter, all the men and money that had been on her mind in the past were forgotten.
Su Mingzhe did not disturb the meeting between mother and daughter. He took Ping'er and Feng'er to the room next to the two little maids to exchange feelings.
By noon.
Feng'er, who was an excellent cook, took two little maids and started making lunch.
Su Mingzhe originally thought of going to see Sister Feng, but Ping'er continued to pester the man.
After a while, Ping'er regained his composure and then faced the man and said cautiously:
"Second Master, Ping'er wants to tell you something, so you can't be angry."
"Tell me, as long as you don't cuckold me, everything else is easy to discuss!"
Su Mingzhe's words made Ping'er's already red face become even more beautiful:
"Second Master, Ping'er is talking to you about something serious!"
"Okay, okay, say it, say it!"
Su Mingzhe turned over and dismounted. Ping'er tidied up a little, lay in the man's arms, and then said:
"Actually, the matter is about the ruby and green beads."
Hongyu and Lvzhu are the two newly bought maids after Wang Xifeng came here. They look quite upright, but they are not very old, at most eleven or twelve years old.
"Actually, Hongyu's surname is Lin, and her parents are my grandma's couple, Lin Zhixiao. Luzhu's surname is Lai, and her parents are Laiwang."
Lin Zhixiao and his wife and Laiwang and his wife were both Wang Xifeng's companions.
Although this couple has done a lot of evil things, many of them were ordered by Wang Xifeng.
Lin Zhixiao and Lai Wang were killed, and they were considered to have suffered for Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng later quietly bought the ruby and green beads, which was regarded as fulfilling the obligation of being a master.
Ping'er carefully told the story of the two little maids, and then looked at the man.
Who would have expected that Su Mingzhe was not surprised at all, and even curled his lips and chuckled:
"I'm not blind. Hong Yu and Lu Zhu also grew up in Rongguo Mansion. How could I not remember them?"
"I forgot, Second Master likes to remember girls the most."
Ping'er looked down upon the man and then continued:
"Now that the Second Master knows about them, is the Second Master going to take them in, or send them out in two years?"
"Let's talk about it then."
Su Mingzhe was really prepared to take a look before talking.
If Hongyu and Lvzhu don't hate Rongguo Mansion, don't hate themselves, and are unwilling to follow them and send them out, it won't be a problem.
However, once the two little maids showed even the slightest hint of hostility, Su Mingzhe would never let him go.
After lunch, Su Mingzhe exchanged feelings with Sister Feng twice more before leaving.
A few days passed.
At Xiren's reminder, Su Mingzhe reluctantly sent the two sisters Ruixue and Woxue to Wang Xifeng.
Then more than a month passed.
It's June.
The time for the college examination in Gyeonggi Province has finally been announced.
Su Mingzhe went to sign up again.
According to the agreed and established rules.
First of all, in the college examination, as long as you do not violate taboos and answer questions above the standard line, you will basically not be dismissed.
Therefore, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion has begun to discuss privately how to celebrate Su Mingzhe when the list is announced.
Su Mingzhe came back from registration. As soon as he came to the backyard, he heard such discussions.
But Xichun suddenly giggled and said:
"Do you remember that this year is still the year of Mao, and there will be a provincial examination in August? You said that if my second brother got the scholarship after the college examination, he could just apply for the provincial examination directly, and maybe he would become a scholar in one breath. !」
"It's easy to show talent, but it's hard to recruit people!"
Although Su Mingzhe was confident that he would pass the examination, he did not need to be so high-profile. He immediately walked into the flower hall with a smile, greeted everyone with a smile, and said:
"After I get the title of scholar, I plan to go to Taixue University to study for two years. When I get a little older, I will sign up for the provincial examination!"
Tan Chun was moved by Xichun's words and began to persuade:
"Second brother, it's not troublesome to sign up anyway, why not give it a try, even if it's just to experience it in advance?"
The atmosphere of going to the countryside to take the exam, and later studying at Taixue University, you must study in a targeted manner."
"That's what the two sisters said!"
Xue Baochai also advised:
"Brother Bao, no matter if it works or not, let's just try. If we succeed, we will have to wait three years less!"
Xue Baochai gave up his persuasion, knowing that he was not convincing enough, so he smiled directly at the silent sister Lin:
"Sister Lin, Brother Bao listens to you the most. Please persuade him quickly. This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later!"
